Dryer Maintenance Kit (29-Inch Models)
This kit contains the idler pulley, drum rollers, and drive belt. Squealing is typically caused by the idler pulley's bushing losing lubrication, creating high-friction metal-on-metal contact. Replacing the entire set of rotational components addresses all potential friction points simultaneously to prevent a recurrence.

Drum Idler Pulley
The idler pulley is the most likely source of high-pitched squealing. It spins at a high RPM relative to the drum, and when the internal bearing surface wears down, it generates a high-frequency shriek. This individual part solves the root cause if the rollers and belt are otherwise inspected and found to be in good condition.

Drum Support Roller
While rollers typically produce a thumping or groaning sound, a seized roller axle can produce a localized squeal as the drum rotates against a stationary surface. These rollers support the rear of the drum and are subject to high thermal stress, leading to lubricant breakdown.
